Returned from Canada to get caught up on all of the Max happenings. Looks like he's been through some good times and bad recently, but still is the same, smiley, happy, little trooper that he has been throughout this ordeal for the last year.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAX and Congratulations Tim and Beth on your strength and perseverance.
Year two looks to present new monumental challenges. I totally admire and am inspired by your faith in God and your surgeons. Perhaps the previous year has been a beneficial training exercise, strengthing Max to be up to the task of the transplant.
I will continue to follow the Max saga and keep you in my prayers!
